Hailey Herwood and Schiffler Corral, both CEO’s of their respective firms, have decided to lay off some poor performing employees, that would have probably been fired within the next 6 months anyway. “It’s true, we’re laying off workers because of the economy, but the ones we’re laying off are employees that contribute little to our operations. Our best employees continue to hold their jobs and will continue with us as long as they maintain their excellent records. Further, we’re going to reward our internet communication technologies market analysts, who are in high demand, with a cost of living raise plus 2% of their salaries.” Internet communication technologies sales were not down, at least according to a report by Angelica Dugo, who said fourth quarter profits should help drive the consumer market forward. “Look, let’s not settle for second best,” said Raigoza Tengan, CEO of Dennis Otool INC., “we can weather the economic down turn by saving our liquid capital, down sizing, and then bursting out when things turnaround for the better.” News of possible lay-offs in the internet communication technologies sector came as no surprise to administrative assistant Lounder Sproul, who works with the CEM of Mechelle Mcevers Traders INC. “I saw this coming…luckily, I know my job is safe, and if worse comes to worse, I’ll retire early and live off a modest pension. Organized labor is not concerned either, since many internet communication technologies syndicates hashed out reasonable deals with corporate leadership last year.” Several other major stock houses felt similar shifts in the internet communication technologies industry as well, noting some losses on the big board. This is to be expected, however, because the economy is not quite ready for anymore “irrational exuberance”. Speaking broadly, the internet communication technologies market sector will perk up as the year continues forward, with historically strong profits in the second and fourth quarters. “I’m doubtful of a fast turnaround,” said Mitchell Mutherspaw, a commodities broker for Nathalie Arhart and Son’s Firm, “but I am confident of long term gains that will help drive the internet communication technologies market area forward.” Internet communication technologies employment numbers increase perennially, despite even the most difficult of economic times. The market is always strong and always improving, mostly because people need greater access to internet communication technologies services and products on a daily basis. As the market continues to mature, some stock forecasters see big gains - despite the slow economic times - that could spell riches for savvy investors. “We might just give everyone non-paid vacation,” said Trudy Pillips, Vice President of HR at Prendergast Mcdivitt and Yadira Bernas, INC, “simply because having too many workers becomes unproductive. We’ll let portions of our employees take time off for their families. When they’re recharged and ready to tackle the demands of the internet communication technologies consumer demand, we’ll open our doors once again. In the meantime, let’s be cautious and not jump to conclusions.” Some long range planners believe the holiday season will be the bell weather indicator of how optimistic people are about the economy, particularly in the internet communication technologies market. Consumers will spend some 20 to 30 % more, on average, in the months before the holiday season, which helps retailers and major producers’ bottom lines greatly. The internet communication technologies sector, although sometimes slow during the holidays, generally does well no matter what result. Market makers in the internet communication technologies shuddered with news of the recent economic down turn, signaled by top analysts in the Sochocki Tyler Ltd firm. Though the bear market will slow acquisition down, stocks will continue to trade hands.
